Hudson Hawk Band Updates
Week of 11/28/2022
So Thankful For You
Students & Section of the Week
This week we are recognizing the Beginner Band French Horn section - they all did a wonderful job on their chair test and are a great class daily! They work hard, are fun to work with, and are kind and helpful every day.
We are also recognizing Sophia Bonin (Wind Symphony flute) and Joseph Le (Beginner Band trombone). Sophia is always encouraging of others and lifts up her peers every day. She is a leader in her section and is always prepared on her music. Joseph is a quiet leader in the trombone class. He is a hard worker, a great example for others, and is always pleasant to be around.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE WONDERFUL STUDENTS!!!

Band Fees
This year, you can pay band fees through cash or check (made out to Hudson Band Boosters), Paypal through Charms (watch this video to walk you through the Charms system), and for the first time - credit card through the band website. Visit the band website and enter the password HawkBD2223 to enter the secure page and pay online. Please consider adding the optional donation to your cart to cover the credit card fees we incur using this convenient service.
If you have a financial hardship, please communicate with us so we can help you. We never want a student to be unable to participate due to finances and will do everything we can to work with your family and ensure your student is included.
Private Lessons Filling Up
The single biggest investment you can make in your student's musical advancement is signing them up for private lessons. Return the private lesson enrollment form to get your student started ASAP. Lessons are $20 each week and the fee is paid directly to the instructor.
